‘The Deathstalker Ivy – a horrid creature that should be enough to stop any wistful adventurer from going into those trees. They say you don’t see it coming; its uneven stumbling is nearly silent, and should you hear it, you might foolishly assume it is just a rabbit, or a deer. By the time you notice the forest’s unnatural silence, as if every living creature is holding its breath; by the time you hear rasping breaths behind you and notice the ivy snaking around your legs, it is far, far too late.’
